Many poets use earthly matters such as nature and environment as a way of expressing their feelings and emotions in their poems. In this essay I will be discussing how the poet Ted Hughes in his poem Wuthering Heights and the poet Sylvia Plath in her poem Wuthering Heights, approach nature in different manners as a theme of conveying their sentiments to the reader. ... The stanzas in this poem are not in a particular size, there are three stanzas which look like they have been divided because they shed light on different subjects. ... ” The irony in this line is that soup is not really the trendy meal of the day anymore. ... People do not consume soup anymore, the fact that the soup dishes had one belonged to the Bront¸’s is doubtless the reason why Walter’s mother’s cousin accepted them. ... He knew that the Bront¸ sisters wrote novels about love and the feelings one would feel when in a relationship because they were not allowed to have relationships in their real lives. They wanted to be able to experience these emotions but it was not permitted by their strict father. ... Line 6 explains how although Walter did not approve of writers, he was amazed to see how Plath was exceptionally interested in coming to the village to see the remains of what used to be the home of poets who lived a long time before they were even born. He was fascinated at how she had come all the way from America to Britain and not felt the difference of culture or the diverse way of life; it “elated him. ... The life Emily had of writing novels, not being married and having to live with her father all her life was what she considered as paradise, demonstrated in line 15: “Emily’s private Eden.” Line 16 is a fairly active line as it makes reference to nature, (as many of Hughes poems do) and to the more appealing but dark side of what one may find in a love relationship. This sentence does not only draw a line to Emily but also to Hughes and Plath. ... “The moor lifted and opened its dark flower…” it should be noted that moors being open places, full of clear land and no trees should not be associated with darkness because they are bright places where a lot of action can take place, people can play games there, the basis for this sentence is to draw a contrast. Line 19 is another sentence which gives one the impression that the poet wants the reader to picture Emily “With wet feet and nothing on her head…trudged that climbing side towards friends…” this line indicates that her life was not only made up of having to clear the house of its mess and write stories all day long. ... Line 41 finally ends the first extremely long stanza and the poet now moves off the topic of the house in ruin and approaches a different matter which involves Plath and Hughes himself, much more. ... He is aware that they will not earn very much money and it will be hard to survive on such a small amount of what they will have. ... The idea that Plath had a photograph “…perched in one of the two trees…” would have been a dream for Emily, she would never have been able to afford something of the sort, set aside the fact that it might not have even been invented in her time. ... This poem is tremendously shorter than the former and is not a narrative poem. ... Line 4 gives irony for the air does not singe, it air is made of dust particles which are not visible. ... Irony in this line is that the wind is one continuous thing, even if the wind does not want to blow, it must because it is a part of nature, this is the same with her talent, it is natural so it just comes naturally, she couldn’t stop it even if she wanted to .
